Fun Trivia
Alanna of Trebond wants to become a knight (a role only allowed for noble-born boys in Tortall), so she disguises herself as Alan, and starts her training at the royal palace in Corus. Tamora Pierce originally wrote these four stories as a single novel aimed at adults, but was persuaded to rewrite it as four books with a young adult audience as the target.
